When I look backward and recall that we had from 500 to 800 attendants, I am greatly surprised to see now more than 2000 people interested in being updated, in learning and sharing experiences.

What is most significant is to see how the event has evolved, thanks to the comments we receive from our customers. This year we are looking forward to comply with the many requests, we invited our dealers to participate in World of Solutions and we organized meetings with different technologies' experts, trying to show solutions for every market.

Cisco's strategy: Listen, Share, Deliver, has been 100% implemented during Networkers, since one of the main goals is for the event to serve as a forum to Listen to our customers and partners, to Share experiences, ideas, development, etc., and to Deliver solutions according to market needs.

For Cisco it is very important to know you and to help you in your professional development. Share with us your ideas, needs, and experiences. Be part of the network power. Now!

Educational organizations with technology-specific university courses, have more and more graduates in this field. It is very important for them to keep updated and to relate with colleagues and other industry professionals, for the global expansion and the increase in professionals able to face technological changes. Networkers 2003 has been my firs experience as a Cisco Networking Academy Instructor, and the variety of conferences offered during the event was amazing.

These kinds of events provide us with information about technologies, business tendencies, and solutions we can supply to program's students. It is highly valuable to share ideas with and to relate to other professionals specialized in networking and telecommunications in a very positive environment, allowing you to learn about projects and tendencies around telecommunication's equipment.

In World of Solutions, I found leaders with great technological exhibitions, including a specialist explaining what's new in the market, all this allowed us to know and understand the technology. Networkers 2003 exceeded my expectations!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to continue our professional development.

Every time training activities increases in the CATC, you can see a lot of personalities participating, while in other cases you see only the instructor. A new training era is coming for all Academies in Mexico. The reason is the new version in CCNA 3.0, even when this version isn't yet available to Mexico, the Cisco Networking Academy Mexico operations team, the training staff at CATC and International Operation are working together to offer high quality training and to determine schedules for all interested academies in Mexico.

At the same time, the labs are being adapted to support the new training programs "Networking Security Fundamentals" and "Wireless networks fundamentals". These programs are in the forefront regarding contents, materials, images, support material, etc.

All this is on behalf of more and more Mexican students, to be able to be part of the change, a daily change. The program's statistics don't lie, we are number 2 in the world in number of students and number 5 in number of academies; we can work even more to set important precedents in Mexico's education. This information is very important to all our regional academies, main contacts, and instructors.

We are working very hard with the Mexico's operations team for you to have an information kit as soon as possible. This information should spread what we are today and what we will build tomorrow, because we have to be part of the change. The CATC Mexico wants to reiterate its commitment with the education of a modern Mexico, we are changing agents and value privileges.

Best Regards,

CATC México,
